Hello. I'm the new mod of ScienceFiction. I just wanted to introduce myself as you'll be seeing my name a lot more around here. I also wanted to get some community input on a couple things.

First, you'll notice we have revamped the about/rules sidebar. Please familiarize yourself with the guidelines, it's not much different, just trying to be more welcoming and informative as well as make sure we are having a safe, good experience for our members. I like to be transparent as well as get community input often because after all, this community is for you all.

Second, one of the things I came on for is to post weekly discussion threads to make sure conversations about ongoing shows/movies/books, etc are easy to find and take part in. So I wanted to see what all you would like to discuss. Obviously Foundaition is airing now, so I will be making sure we have a pinned discussion post about each week's new episode. I also wanted to see what else you might want to talk about and what upcoming media you were looking forward to that you would like to have discussion threads for. Izzy has been making monthly "What are you watching/reading?" posts but we also want to have more specific weekly threads as well. So what are you looking forward to?

Thanks for volunteering. Kudos! (Seriously).

First, Some ppl see the sidebat (typo left), others see noise...accept...'more like guidelines...'

Second, stickies or regular posts for the Network biggies is a good idea. Currently the series that make good sense to me are SNW. yes, Foundation, Futurama, perhaps What we do in the Shadows, Harley Quinn, depending on how anal you are, going on my current playlist. Reach out for others playlists...

/movies/books should probably be handled seperately, in a better world.
